Birmingham cafés, restaurants and takeaways
POS system for Birmingham cafés, restaurants and takeaways
Birmingham's food trade runs from the balti houses of Sparkbrook and Balsall Heath to the coffee shops and bars of Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter. Café QR is a cloud POS that fits all of it: a fast till and kitchen display, tabs and a floor plan for sit-down service, and your own online ordering page so collection orders arrive without a marketplace taking a cut. QR table ordering is built in.

Where we are
Café QR is run from Liverpool, about ninety minutes from Birmingham by train. Setup is usually a screen-share in UK hours, and we can come down when a venue would rather be walked through it in person.
01
Collection orders without the marketplace cut
Around the Balti Triangle and across the suburbs, a big share of a takeaway's evening is collection and delivery. When those orders come through a marketplace, a large slice of each one goes in commission.
The POS plan includes your own ordering page for collection and delivery, with your menu and your prices. Put the link on your Google listing, your shop window and your bags. Orders land on the same kitchen screen as the till, with a collection time, and the money goes to your own Stripe account.
- Your own collection and delivery page, no per-order fee
- Postcode zones and delivery charges you set
- Orders on the same kitchen screen as the till
02
Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter run on tabs
Bars and late cafés in Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter keep tables open for hours. Each table keeps an open tab from the till or a waiter's phone, and the floor plan shows which tables are drinking, eating or asking for the bill.
Bills split equally or by what each person had, and guests can order another round from the QR code on their table without waiting at the bar.
03
What it costs, plainly
The POS plan is £39 per venue, per month: the till, kitchen screen, waiter app, tabs and floor plan, table bookings, online ordering, self-order kiosk and cash-up. Order & Pay, just QR ordering and the kitchen screen, is £9.99. No setup fee, and the first month is free with no card. Pay yearly and get two months free.
We charge no platform fee or commission. Stripe's card processing applies to online and table payments and is paid to Stripe, not to us.

Questions
Cafés and restaurants in Birmingham ask
Can my takeaway take collection orders without paying commission?
Yes. The POS plan includes your own online ordering page for collection and delivery. We charge no commission on those orders; Stripe's card fee applies to card payments.
Does it work for a bar that runs tabs?
Yes. Tables keep open tabs from the till or the waiter app, bills split equally or by item, and guests can reorder from the QR code on the table.
What does it cost in Birmingham?
The same as anywhere in the UK. The POS plan is £39 per venue, per month: the till, kitchen screen, waiter app, tabs and floor plan, table bookings, online ordering, self-order kiosk and cash-up.

One price. Every table. No commission.
You pay the same each month whether guests order fifty times or five thousand. We never take a share of your orders, and guest payments go straight into your own account.
